Ingredients

1 red onion, chopped

1 pointed sweet red pepper, de-seeded and chopped

15g butter

2 tbsp sunflower oil

1kg vine-ripened tomatoes

1 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves, plus extra to garnish

1 tbsp tomato purée

500g pouch Asda Extra Special Fish Stock

300g pack cooked peeled prawns (from the chiller)

1 level tbsp cornflour

Crusty bread to serve

Method

1
In a pan, cook the onion and pepper in the butter and 1 tbsp oil until soft and the onion translucent.
2
Quarter the tomatoes, then scoop out the seeds and juices into a sieve over a bowl. Discard the seeds.
3
Set aside two quarters of the tomato. Add the rest to the pan with the thyme leaves. Cover and cook gently for 10 minutes.
4
Add the purée, stock and 300ml water, and heat until simmering. Continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add the cornflour mixed with a dash of cold water and heat until simmering. Leave to cool.
5
Purée the soup with a hand-held blender. Add 250g prawns and purée again until finely chopped but not smooth.
6
Chill, then transfer to four soup bowls. Drizzle with the remaining oil and garnish with the reserved tomato finely chopped, and the prawns, the extra thyme and some black pepper.
7
Serve with crusty bread.
